Why are we putting a newbie in office?

Question

This was in yahoo news:

(talking about Palin)

"Governor of one of the nation's least populous states for a mere two years and the ex-mayor of a municipality that's home to 7000 souls, Palin is now positioned to be a proverbial heartbeat away from the ability to order ICBMs fired at Russia. (On January 20th McCain, a cancer survivor and hardly the picture of health, will be two years away from the average life expectancy for an American male.) "

Okay, so McCain is for all stressful positions of the world... especially US President... more likely than others to kick the bucket. AND to top it off his VP pick has less experience than a sack of potatoes. She didn't even go to law school! Also, before she was officially announced as his VP pick she didn't even know what the VP did!

Bottom line... she's pretty and that makes people like McCain more.

Answer 1

You do not need to go to law school to be President. Besides, anyone can learn those things outside of school.

If Obama can run for President, Palin has more than enough experience to be Vice President.  

Answer 2

McCain's mother is in her 90's. What makes you or the press the all seeing eye into his genetics?

Obama is about as green as the come and compared to Palin he is nothing more than a Pied Piper.

Answer 3

Obama serves in the US Senate*** those who make the law not those who hold city council meetings for a town of less than 10,000.  Also Obama is not under judicial review for abusing power like Palin is.  PLEASE READ THE ISSUES Obama is innovative and not conformative which we need since we are falling into a new depression with the housing market in turmoil and stock marking posting consecutive losses.  McCain has not one original idea in his body and answers questions that I could do better on.  I still don't know what he stands for after watching numerous debates because he always falls back on his POW experience which is sorry to say the least since my grandfather was a POW in Vnam and never said anything about it especially for personal gain.  I think that is down right sorry.

Answer 4

and obama isn't a 'newbie'?

Answer 5

And what is obama but a "community organizer" with no responsibility.

Answer 6

Yeah! It's better to have a guy who's going to practically open the boarders for illegal immigrants (I mean, what else do folks have to do with their tax money than pay for illegals?) and who is a closet Muslim with a high regard for Louis Farrakhan!

Vote Obama! The US needs Sharia law now! (OK; that will take a while - he's just a doorman for it.)

Answer 7

She's less of a "Newbie" than Obama, who's only been a "community organizer"(whatever the h**l THAT is), and voted "present" alot, effectively doing NOTHING for the people of Ilinois, who elected his stupid @$$!

Obama is somebody else's "puppet"! He can't think for himself, otherwise routine "policy" questions would not befuddle him so easily! He is an "image" the DNC has decided will "sell" to their drones. Lemmings, they are!

Answer 8

Well, she has more executive experience than the entire democratic ticket. Last time I checked, I thought we wanted someone who isn't part of the Washington machine. We want someone fresh, someone who is the face of change. She represents that. She has proven that she is an extremely capable leader. Plus, she stands for what is right. I'll take her over any of the other candidates every day. She truly does represent change. Honestly, if the Washington insiders aren't doing a great job running this country, I want someone new. That for sure is not Obama. Palin is amazing and people are too afraid to realize that because they're mesmerized by Obama. He's so fake and empty, and we have a beacon of light enter the stage and she's completely dismissed by everyone who wants a baby-killing socialist running this country.

Answer 9

You're right, but Obama is exactly that experience either. Like i'm telling everyone. On both sides, both democrat and republican, they have no way to convince this generation to vote for them with political agendas, real plans, policies etc. why?

1) People today especially the youth (i'm young too btw) are f*cking stupid and don't have the attention span to listen to real issues when another nude pic of a Disney w***e has just been announced or CSI is about to come on.

2) These politicians today have no real plans... SO...

The democrats pick a wannabe rockstar to attract liberal hipsters, and the republicans nominate a pretty little twit to attract Hilary's psuedo-feminist supporters. Both demographic groups know S**t about politics but will vote for either one based a childish reason to identify with either candidate for.

To me honestly the world is over, I'm just watching the show to see how it turns out

Answer 10

Nobody is putting Sarah in the office. She goes home. Period

Answer 11

Obama is far less experienced, and the Democrats want him as President.  Look at his bio on the Senate website, his voting record this year alone is pathetic, and of the time he has been in "office", how much of that has spent running for President?  I feel bad for the citizens of Illinois, he has to be one of the most least effective senators that I have seen.  

Are you saying that Alaska is like a tiny island because of it's population?  Sweetie, governing a state does not just mean governing it's people!  Alaska is the largest state in the Nation, and that means a whole lot of infrastructure.  I've lived there, and the elements are not kind.  The Residents of AK are extremely diverse, and I'd imagine, difficult to work with because of the "entitlements" and demands.    You are really under-estimating the work and the issues that she has had to deal with . . .

Answer 12

Good point.  I'm definitely a newbie, so I'm releasing all my delegates to vote for Bob Barr

Answer 13

What is on Obama's resume that qualifies him to be the PRESIDENT.  

Answer 14

You should ask yourself that question about Barack. Now THERE is a newbie in every sense of the word...and he's your front runner. How scary is THAT?

Answer 15

I find it amusing that for years I have heard people say that we want someone who isn't a lifelong politician. Someone who knows what the rest of America lives like. Someone who isn't a trustfund baby.  Well, that's Sarah Palin.  She is just like the rest of us ordinary folks.  She has the same problems that normal families have and deals with them with extreme grace.  She is intelligent, well-spoken, and compassionate.  As governor, she has had more experience than Mr. One Year As Senator.  Didn't the Democrats want a female president?  Well now it looks likely!

Answer 16

Most presidents that have been elected have been governors, not senators. Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. So her level of experience shouldn't even be an issue.

Answer 17

She has proven that she is not afraid to do what is right. She was a whistle blower in Alaska against people in her own party.  I think that says a whole lot. Although she will agree to drilling for oil, she is a huge backer of alternative forms of energy and becoming completely independant of socialist and terrorist nations for our oil. America is about independence!

Since the industrial revolution, America has been in the forefront of invention and engenuity. I know we can produce our own energy. Maybe we can tighten our borders, legalize the immigrants that are here and help them assimilate by creating a huge workforce and thousands of jobs for all Americans towards this new energy independent America! That would truly unite us. But that's another discussion.
